Abstract

This study examines whether there is a moderating effect of corporate social responsibility(CSR) on the relation between sales, general, and administrative(SG&A) expenditures and future corporate performance. SG&A expenditures are decomposed into maintenance and investment components and the latter component is focused. Using 968 Korean firm-year observations with CSR scores in the KOSPI market for the period of 2012-2017, this study investigates the relation between SG&A investment component and future corporate performance and then the moderate effect of CSR on its relation. Main results show that the SG&A investment component increases the future corporate performance and the moderate effect of CSR on its relation is more positively explicit. This finding implies that the effect of SG&A investment component on corporate performance is differentiated according to the level of CSR.

본 연구에서는 기업의 사회적 책임활동(Corporate Social Responsibiltiy, CSR)에 따라 판매관리비가 미래 기업성과에 미치는 영향에 차이가 발생하는지 살펴보았다. 판매관리비를 유지속성과 투자속성으로 구분한 뒤, 이 중에서 판매관리비의 투자속성에 초점을 맞추어 판매관리비의 투자속성이 미래 기업성과에 영향을 미치는지 여부에 대해 검토하고 이들 관계가 CSR의 수준에 따라 어떻게 영향을 받는지 분석하였다. 2012년부터 2017년까지 유가증권 시장에 상장된 국내 기업 중 CSR 평가 자료가 있는 968 기업-연도를 표본으로 하여 실증분석한 결과, 판매관리비의 투자속성이 미래 기업성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 관계는 CSR의 수준에 따라 달라지는데, CSR이 높을수록 판매관리비의 투자속성이 더 큰 양(+)의 효과로 미래 기업성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 기업이 사회적 책임활동에 적극적일수록 기업의 판매관리비 투자속성이 미래 기업성과에 미치는 긍정적인 영향이 커진다는 것을 시사한다.
